Introduction
Welcome to my ResearchGate profile!
I'm a PhD scholar at the Institute of Plant Sciences Paris-Saclay (IPS2), studying the fascinating world of beneficial plant-microbe interactions in the context of elevated CO2 and limited nitrogen. With a background in international industrial and research settings, I bring a versatile skill set to the table.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most valued legumes because of its nutritional value and global cultivation in more than fifty countries. Ascochyta blight is the devastating disease that substantially reduces crop yield and creates a wide gap between its demand and production. Several approaches are utilized for disease management, but...
Heterosis refers to the increase in biomass, stature, fertility, and other characters that impart superior performance to the F1 progeny over genetically diverged parents. The manifestation of heterosis brought an economic revolution to the agricultural production and seed sector in the last few decades. Initially, the idea was exploited in cross-p...
Mungbean is one of the important grain legume crops in Pakistan due to its vigorous growth even in adverse environment. Mungbean is part of daily cuisine in the country but its production is low mostly due to imbalance fertilization. The study was carried out to find best combination of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for maximum pro...
Intercropping is considered as an improved system of multiple cropping systems which safeguards crop stand and improves crop production. The main goal of intercropping is to produce high yield from piece of a land by judicious use of available resources which otherwise may not be exploited by a single crop. A study was executed to investigate produ...
Wheat is one of the important food crops worldwide while wheat bread is the most commonly consumed form of it in different populations. As Nigella sativa is rich in several phytochemicals that possess disease preventive properties hence, the proximate and sensory analysis of the breads supplemented with Nigella sativa extract and oil have been disc...

I will appreciate it if someone can share it with me because it is not available on the journal's website.
From literature and my own experience, to culture Ascochyta rabiei without supplementing the media with chickpea powder is not possible. I am curious to know what's the active ingredient in chickpea powder which is actually required to nurture its culture and can we supplement it chemically instead of raw chickpea powder or chickpea extract?
The use of antibiotics, preservatives and similar chemicals is aimed to be avoided in cultures. Since isolations without the use of antibiotics and preventive chemicals is my goal, latent bacterial and sometimes fungal contamination is encountered. Does anybody has experience treating source plants with any preventive chemicals or antibiotics few days or weeks prior to isolation to reduce or eliminate the internal contaminants?
Any recommendations/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Although it's not a very effective sterilizer alone for plants but still being part of treatments in all researches. i wonder over its widely essential use and what factors decide the time of ethanol treatment?
Since tween 20 is no doubt an excellent surfactant to remove surface tension and provide better exposure of plant surface for sterilization, by removing the bubbles which are more problematic in case of plants having plenty of hairs and trichomes. I wonder if in case of unavailability of tween 20, can a common detergent or dish soap provides the same benefit or there is any other cheaper compound as a replacement?
